We Now Have Track!!! (School Club Beginnings)
After a short wait I have great news. Over the weekend I received the first donations for our school layout. They are an extremely generous amount of products from Augusta Track creator of a modular track system (website link: http://www.augustatrack.com/)

Modular Help
Hi as I am sure most of you know by now my school is starting a club and we want to make it modular (possibly) and I could use some help planning the gap points below is the track plan so please let me know what you think. Thanks, Trainmaster247
Making a small 3-rail layout with less "toy like" appearance
A couple things. I sold a New York Central Dressel lantern i had been looking to sell for a while, and made $60 off of it. Then, this morning I used that money to get a railroad lantern I wanted Waaaaaaaaay more: a Boston & Maine Railroad lantern with a marked globe! Yes! It is a Deitz vesta, and is in very nice condition. I've been waiting a while for one of these to come up on ebay for a reasonable offer(less than $70). Also, my trackwork has been inching along.
Engine Problem
1st of all they really should add a help topic choice for I am sure it would be well used.
2nd of all my problem.
The locomotive in question is an all metal engine with pickups in the tender I am not sure if it is shorting but it sparks as it goes around and it stops and starts. Do you think it is something with the tender wheels? I will hopefully get pictures up soon.
Re-do it all!
Sadly, my layout has been fussy. There's a small grade on it that the trains can't cope with, and nothing seems to make it past 5-6 laps before something goes wrong! I am faced with only one choice: tear down the roadbed and start over! Here are some final pictures of the half built mess, before I get down to it:

Is a router a tool that has enough potential applications to make the investment worthwhile?
As a tool junkie I have no problem working up the temptation and I do have a few situations where owning a router would be helpful, but I just don't know if over the long haul it would be a reasonable investment. Perhaps anyone who's used one on their railroad would have an opinion on this.
How to discontinue and find a home for husband's "N" gauge layout
My husband passed away last year and has quite an extensive layout. Where and how do I start to find a new home for it? Are there places that would take it as a donation?
